Anime in Focus: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2 episode 11

Previous Episode

Well, here we are on episode 3 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2. What?

THERE WAS NO ENDLESS 8 I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!

LALALA I’M NOT LISTENING!

Anyway, this episode continues the plot arc from the previous episode. I remember that one time in the first season where they showed the first part of a two parter, an unrelated episode, then the second part to the two-parter. That was funny. Alas, this episode is more on the making of the movie in episode 0. Here we see the casting choices, where Haruhi ironically casts everybody as… themselves. Of course, nobody wants to tell Haruhi that they really ARE a hidden Esper, a time traveler, and a magical alien. So they all pretend to be high school students pretending to be part of a science fiction show. Then they start filming, which involves Mikuru acting like an idiot, and Haruhi proving herself to be a horrible director. Kyon complains a lot. Small scene of Kyon x Mikuru, but Haruhi gets in the way. We need MOAR Kyon x Mikuru

And they REALLY need to get new material. I mean, this show hasn’t been covering new ground since the first episode of the second season, and has just been riding on the coattails of previous successes. Man, I’m not really sure what to think, the first season was great and all but… eh.

Coming soon:

Episode 3
